14. As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the sluggard upon his bed.

18. As a madman who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death;
19. So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20. For lack of wood the fire goeth out: and where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.
